That sucks to work with them. It breeds poor work culture and impacts mental health. I had similar experience and I was new to the firm at that time. Being a consultant, it’s a passing cloud. I can empathize with you if you are in industry where change is not that easy. Any upward feedback that you can give to their manager or have a friendly chat. Beyond that, people just move.

Oh my god. Lisa Smiths are everywhere.
I had a supervisor when I worked at a call center that only wrote people up. She had no knowledge about our systems or the job we did. Only knew the sales metrics and customer ratings because she made her bonuses off of our hard work. She refused to take supervisor calls and if any issues arose she pawned us off on someone else and thenbpunished us for delaying the callers so that we could effectivrly research and assist with the problems said customers were facing. She was the worst. Not only dumb as a rock, but useless. We all were 80% sure she was doing her boss because despite her utter incompetence, she kept getting promotions.
The guy above her who kept promoting her was known for his favoritism and his temper. I'm not sure if it was the lymes disease or just his personality, but he was both hated and feared because of his temper and level of authority (he ran the entire call center)

My direct is just like this. He takes his stress out on the team. I act as the shield for the rest of the team, and delegate work as needed so he’s not freaking out on people. Pain in the ass, but it gets the job done.
